Need Some Craig's List Advice

    I sell handmade items. I am trying to use CL to sell them. I post an ad for an item, with item description, price and images. At the end of the ad I'll list the URL of my site.

    I'll post similar ads, but each for a different item, with different description, price and images, at various locations across the U.S.

    My problem? Some are being flagged as spam. And I don't know why. Each ad is for a different item.

    Any ideas/suggestions on how can avoid having my ads flagged would be greatly appreciated

    Also, make sure that you're posting your ads in relevant sections. People that are looking for certain things and find them (you) are significantly less likely to flag you as spam as if you're selling cat toys in the erotic services section.

    The items are posted in the right section. That's not a problem.

    As for changing ips and CL accounts, that says to me that NO ONE can post more than one ad at a same time but I know that is not the case...people can sell multiple items.....so that's why I wonder why I'm having trouble
